The big PSN outage during the Playstation 3 era totally killed off a game I thought was the next big multiplayer title, 'MAG' (Massive Action Game) as it was a multiplayer FPS entirely online. So I understand the pain of Playstation players during those rough disconnect times.
While I don't game on a playstation anymore I think it's great that you kept others up to date on the outage status in this post. Thank you for your dedication!
